As the internet has developed over the years, more and more shops have been appearing online. Shopping via the internet has now become an extremely fast and easy way to shop in the 21st century.
With Christmas just around the corner and towns and cities becoming very busy and hectic, many people are choosing to stay in the comfort of their own home to purchase those special gifts online instead.
As a leading Southend Chiropractor we treat people everyday who are suffering from back and neck pain. Posture is one of the main causes of back and neck pain and with more of us sitting at a computer for long periods of time, the team at Cliffs Chiropractor Southend would like to share some helpful tips on keeping your back safe whilst Christmas shopping online.
- Try to relax when sitting in your chair. Make sure your bottom is against the seat back and your shoulder blades are touching the back rest of the chair
- Try to avoid sitting on the sofa. People tend to slouch sitting on sofas and you may not realise that you are getting a stiff back or neck
- You may need to put your computer screen on a stand to bring it level with your eyes
- Your seat should be adjusted so that your feet are flat on the ground
If you are suffering from pain or if you have any other concerns please get in touch with us as we offer a lot of help and advice to get you back up and running as soon as possible. You can contact us at Cliffs Chiropractor Southend on 01702 430430.
